Obese couple says it’s their fault they’re fat – so will pay for own gastric bands ops… their own life savings on his’n’her gastric bands – to save the NHS money. … by their GP that they were eligible for gastric band surgery on the NHS.
A morbidly obese couple who together tip the scales at almost 600lbs are to spend their own life savings on his’n’her gastric bands – to save the NHS money.
Chris and Isabella Way said only they are responsible for their huge sizes and do not want the taxpayer to pay the price for their reckless overeating.
The weight-reducing ops will cost them £5,000 each privately but they have both vowed to foot the bill themselves.
Isabella, 31, tips the scales at 19-and-a-half stone while Chris, aged 41, is two stone heavier at 21 and a half.
The couple, who have five children between them, will both go under the knife next month at a private hospital near their home in Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Isabelle, an accounts administrator Isabella, said: “For all my adult life I have struggled with my weight.
“With each pregnancy I piled on more and more weight.
“Chris had always been a yo-yo dieter and he was slim when I met him, but we bonded over our love of food.
“When we started dating he would take me to Michelin-star restaurants, and we loved browsing food festivals and street food markets together.”
Chris, a software engineer who has been with Isabella for three years, has a 44” waist and wears XXXL shirts.
His BMI is a life-threatening 40 – the result of eating two breakfasts every single day.
He said: “We got ourselves into this situation by greed, so it’s up to us to find a way out of it.
“To put it plainly, we love food – and we don’t expect the NHS to pick up bill for it.”
